Question 1

Will this page send me to /compress-pdf automatically?

Accepted Answer

No. /compress-pdf-to-2mb is its own URL with its own canonical. The compressor tool is a click away. We do not 301 this intent page onto the tool.

Question 2

How do I actually get under 2MB?

Accepted Answer

Open Compress PDF, drop the file, start with Medium, download, and check the size. Still heavy? Run Heavy. Scans almost always need Heavy. A text-only campus CV often fits on Light.

Question 3

Is this only for Naukri CVs?

Accepted Answer

No. Naukri and Internshala are the common 2MB examples. The same cap shows up on tax filings, KYC desks, and email. For a résumé-specific walkthrough see the CV guide.

Question 4

Does compression upload the PDF?

Accepted Answer

No. Pages are drawn to a canvas in this tab and re-encoded locally. Document bytes are not sent to pdfonbrowser.com for processing.

Question 5

Will the file still have selectable text?

Accepted Answer

Usually not. This method burns pages to JPEG. That is why it shrinks scans and designed CVs. If you need a text layer, slim the source document first and try Light.
